Following their much acclaimed, digital “Chapter” EP-series, I – IV, Amsterdam-based modern metal act THE LAST ELEMENT has announced to release it as a full-length album version, and for the first time available as physical format! “Act I: Find Me in the Shadows“, combining all of the EP tracks, will be released as CD Digipak on May 3, 2024 via Drakkar Entertainment, the album pre-sale has just started at: https://www.music-merchant.shop/en/the-last-element/ 

A new single, “Meant For Shadows“, is now streaming below!

“Act I: Find Me in the Shadows“, is not just an album; “it’s an exploration of the human soul, a narrative stitched with the threads of hope, despair, solitude, and connection,” THE LAST ELEMENT comments. “Each track serves as a part of a chapter, unfolding stories that resonate with the core of our shared human experience.”

“Find Me in the Shadows” sees THE LAST ELEMENT delving into the duality of existence, embracing both the pain and beauty of life. “The album is a call to those who have wandered in the dark, to those who have basked in the light, and to everyone in between. It’s a reminder that we are not alone in our experiences, that every shadow is cast by a source of light.”

Their new single, “Meant For Shadows”, masterfully crafts THE LAST ELEMENT‘s message, combining their signature sound with heartfelt lyrics while creating an immersive experience. “From a young age, I grappled with the weight of comparison, each critique and comparison casting a shadow over my aspirations.” Vocalist Jasper Roelofsen reveals. “‘Maybe I’m just meant for shadows’ echoes the doubt that lingers when one’s worth is measured against the achievements of others.” 

“Meant for Shadows” is now streaming on all digital providers at https://thelastelement.bfan.link/meant-for-shadows

The band’s journey through the album is a reflective process, where personal battles give rise to universal truths. From the struggle of self-confrontation in “Slave” to the acceptance of one’s own multifaceted nature and search for a safe haven in “Safe”, each song is a piece of a larger puzzle, inviting listeners to find their own meaning within the shadows.

“Find Me in the Shadows” is an invitation to explore the depths of your own psyche, to confront your shadows, and to find comfort in the knowledge that every human experience is shared, in one way or another.” The band adds. Dive deep into THE LAST ELEMENT and experience the entire puzzle, as finally, their enthralling EP-series comes full circle!

Following their their latest EP “Chapter 3: Solitude” (released by the end of 2023 via Drakkar Entertainment at THIS LOCATION), Amsterdam-based modern metal act THE LAST ELEMENT is presenting a music video for their brand new single “Slave”, featuring St. Louis-based rap / rock act Discrepancies!

 “We wrote Slave three years ago and we are very excited to finally release it.” THE LAST ELEMENT comment. “Slave tells the story of being stuck in your head, constantly feeling like nothing you do is good enough. Telling myself to work harder and harder only to lose what I wanted to achieve, love and happiness.  Slave wrote itself, the perfect format to release the emotions and frustration.”

“Slave” is now available on all digital services at https://thelastelement.bfan.link/slave, the new music video is streaming here:

THE LAST ELEMENT started in 2018. Immediately they found common ground, both Jan (bass) and Jasper dealt with hardship in the past, each song they wrote was a way to lift a burden. Jan most notably dealt with the suicide of his life partner, and Jasper came from a history of child abuse and the fallout that created. They bonded over the troubles they lived but more importantly who it made them and what it made the band, they became stronger, the damage, the scars of their past gave the fuel to their music and helped them write what is closest to their hearts. THE LAST ELEMENT is the bond between them, and all the people who are scared to get hurt or that have to deal with misfortune, “we all heal when we are together, together we are stronger. Thus our music became the translation of those feelings, the dark, the heavy, the rage but also the light, the love and hope,” the band says.

Since their formation, THE LAST ELEMENT has reached +3 Million streams on Spotify alone and +10 million across platforms in a fully DIY-spirit. With these numbers increasing daily and previous releases added to editorial playlists such as “New Blood”, “New Core”, or “New Metal Tracks”, and following shows in support of acts such as Asking Alexandria, THE LAST ELEMENT is definitely levelling with established names in the genre on the way to determine their goal in life to share their music and lyrics with a global audience. 

To shorten your wait for a new album to be released in the hopefully not so distant future, the band’s latest EP “Chapter 3: Solitude” is available on all digital services via:

Amsterdam-based modern metal act, THE LAST ELEMENT, is celebrating the release of 

their new EP “Chapter 3: Solitude”, out now with Drakkar Entertainment! A music video for the song “Bury Me” is streaming below.

After the first two chapters already showed that there is no way around the Dutch formation anymore, the band takes the listener on a sonic journey, split into three main parts. “Bury Me,” the third track on the EP, serves as the climax of a three-part narrative that began with “Lost Cause (The Journey Part 1)” and continued through “The Mountain (The Journey Part 2).” Each song is a poignant representation of the universal longing to find solace, to feel at home, and to connect deeply with another soul. Frontman Jasper’s personal battles with loneliness and the feeling of isolation are intricately woven into the fabric of “Chapter 3: Solitude”. This EP is not just a musical piece but a confessional, providing insight into his past struggles and the search for self-worth.

As Jasper comments: “Releasing ‘Chapter 3: Sollitude’ feels like sharing a piece of my soul, inviting listeners into my journey of solitude and self-discovery, hoping it resonates with their own search for belonging.”

Following their recent signing with Drakkar Entertainment / Soulfood Music, Amsterdam-based modern metal band, THE LAST ELEMENT, has shared a brand new song taken of their forthcoming, hotly-anticipated album! More album details should follow in the weeks ahead.

After the four-piece just shared a first single earlier this year, “Waves” (feat. Jett Rebel), today, the band is premiering the song “Control”, featuring rap infused rock and metal act DROPOUT KINGS!

Says THE LAST ELEMENT vocalist Jasper about the new single:

“Control is a heavy and dark song about an abusive relationship, when we wrote the second verse we just knew we wanted someone to really deliver that feeling with the perfect rap vocals… thus Dropout Kings came to mind, we’re fans of what they do and their amazing sound so we decided to reach out.

Quickly they picked it up and we’re excited to work on the song and thus Control was created!”

Amsterdam-based modern metal act, THE LAST ELEMENT, has announced a worldwide label deal with Drakkar Entertainment / Soulfood Music. In support of a new record to follow in the not so distant future, today, the band has premiered a music video for new single “Waves”, featuring a guest appearance by Jett Rebel!

Since their formation, THE LAST ELEMENT has reached +3 Million streams on Spotify alone and +10 million across platforms, fully DIY and this only proves they are getting the recognition and support from their listeners. With these numbers increasing daily and previous releases added to editorial playlists such as “New Blood” “New Core” “New Metal Tracks”, THE LAST ELEMENT is definitely levelling with established names in the genre on the way to determine their goal in life to share their music and lyrics with a global audience.

Label manager Maximilian Föse comments: “We are super stoked to join forces with THE LAST ELEMENT. From the very first moment of hearing the songs we knew it is a good fit! The bands attitude is killer and we can’t wait to let the world hear the new stuff we are preparing together. We believe a lot of new people will find the new music very enjoyable.”

“Now we head for a new road, a new opportunity with Drakkar and we can’t wait!” Says the band about their signing with the Hamburg-based label. “We are very excited to be part of the roster, we’ve met with Max and knew this would be a good fit for us! We’ve got loads of songs coming up and we really wanted to professionalize the process. So here we are!”

Watch the band’s new video for “Waves”, featuring multi-instrumentalist, singer-songwriter Jett Rebel, here:

About the new single, vocalist Jasper reveals:

“The song tells a story about falling in love and feeling like both of you are on the same level, made of the same cloth, the same frequencieis and waves. But with time the other one pulls away, not sure why, cause the love between you both feels so real. The chorus is the plea don’t you feel the same way? Do you know that I’ve changed (over the years) but my heart is still the same, always there for you.

It’s an emotional song with the hapiness as the main theme, but the sad undertone of realizing you might have lost the one you love the most. We feel like the whole track is a strong tale telling my personal story in that regard. In the bridge Jett Rebel also has a part with a dashing guitar solo to really make the whole song feel as one epic ballad.”
